1. Franklin Stahl coined the term "linkage".
2. Punnett square was developed by a British scientist.
3. Spliceosomes take part in translation.
4. Transduction was discovered by S. Altman.
1. Starch synthesis in pea: Multiple alleles
2. ABO blood grouping: Co-dominance
3. XO type sex determination: Grasshopper
4. T.H Morgan: Linkage
A disease caused by an autosomal primary non-disjunction is:
1. Klinefelter's Syndrome
2. Turner's Syndrome
3. Sickle Cell Anemia
4. Down's Syndrome
Which of the following characteristics represent the 'Inheritance of blood groups' in humans?
a. Dominance
b. Co-dominance
c. Multiple allelism
d. Incomplete dominance
e. Polygenic inheritance
| 1. | b, c, and e | 2. | a, b and c |
| 3. | b, d, and e | 4. | a, c, and e |
A woman has an X-linked condition on one of her X chromosomes. This chromosome can be inherited by:
| 1. | Only daughters | 2. | Only sons |
| 3. | Only grandchildren | 4. | Both sons and daughters |
Match the terms in Column-I with their description in Column-II and choose the correct option.
| Column-I | Column-II | ||
| A. | Dominance | 1. | Many govern a single character |
| B. | Codominance | 2. | In a heterozygous organism, only one allele expresses itself |
| C. | Pleiotropy | 3. | In a heterozygous organism, both alleles express themselves fully |
| D. | Polygenic inheritance | 4. | A single gene influences many characters |
| A | B | C | D | |
| 1. | 2 | 3 | 4 | 1 |
| 2. | 4 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 3. | 4 | 3 | 1 | 2 |
| 4. | 2 | 1 | 4 | 3 |
A cell at the telophase stage is observed by a student in a plant brought from the field. He tells his teacher that this cell is not like other cells at the telophase stage. There is no formation of a cell plate and thus the cell is containing more chromosomes as compared to other dividing cells. This would result in:
1. polyploidy
2. somaclonal variation
3. polyteny
4. aneuploidy
| 1. | Mutations destroy telomerase inhibitor |
| 2. | Mutations inactivate the cell control |
| 3. | Mutations inhibit the production of telomerase |
| 4. | Mutations in proto–oncogenes accelerate the cell cycle |
The movement of a gene from one linkage group to another is called:
| 1. | inversion | 2. | duplication |
| 3. | translocation | 4. | crossing over |
